Extend that a little way south (beyond Crouch End or Highgate) and you'll be going over a pretty big hill. Likewise going on the road that takes you past Alexandra Palace will give another up and down before tackling Muswell Hill.

When you get to Wood Green tube (near the end of your ride) turn right instead of straight on. Right again soon after at the mini roundabout. Go up the incline (Station Road)and basically follow the train tracks to your left until you can cross them and double back on yourself (Bedford Road). Then go up the hill, love the view, admire the stunning architecture and reflect on the grand old days of Auntie Beeb before heading down for the calf burning delights of Muswell hill. Lovely!!
